+Description: admin read only
+ This sysfs file exposes the system topology information by making HCALL
+ H_GET_PERF_COUNTER_INFO. The HCALL is made with counter request value
+ AFFINITY_DOMAIN_INFORMATION_BY_DOMAIN(0xB0).
+
+ * This sysfs file will be created only for power10 and above platforms.
+
+ * User needs root privileges to read data from this sysfs file.
+
+ * This sysfs file will be created, only when the HCALL returns "H_SUCESS",
+ "H_AUTHORITY" and "H_PARAMETER" as the return type.
+
+ HCALL with return error type "H_AUTHORITY", can be resolved during
+ runtime by setting "Enable Performance Information Collection" option.
+
+ * The end user reading this sysfs file must decode the content as per
+ underlying platform/firmware.
+
+ Possible error codes while reading this sysfs file:
+
+ * "-EPERM" : Partition is not permitted to retrieve performance information,
+ required to set "Enable Performance Information Collection" option.
+
+ * "-EIO" : Can't retrieve system information because of invalid buffer length/invalid address
+ or because of some hardware error. Refer getPerfCountInfo documentation for
+ more information.
+
+ * "-EFBIG" : System information exceeds PAGE_SIZE.
